Some topics you will learn in this infographic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starts with \u201cCef-\u201d:<\/b>
Most of the drugs in this class start with \u201ccef-,\u201d except for a few such as the first one on the market known as cephalexin (Keflex).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bactericidal:<\/b>
Unlike bacteriostatic agents, which simply stop bacteria from reproducing, bactericidal agents actually cause bacterial cell death. They disrupt cell wall synthesis leading to cell wall damage, causing lysis and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allergic Reactions:<\/b>
Allergic reactions are the most frequent adverse events occurring with the use of cephalosporins. The most common symptom is a maculopapular rash that develops several days after the onset of use. If signs of allergy appear such as a rash, hypotension, urticaria, or difficulty breathing, the use of cephalosporins should be discontinued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeding:<\/b>
The cephalosporin, cefotetan, may cause bleeding tendencies due to reduction of prothrombin levels. Implement caution when using concurrently with anticoagulants or thrombolytic agents and monitor for signs of bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Alcohol:<\/b>
The cephalosporin cefotetan can induce a state of alcohol intolerance. The patient should be instructed to not have any form of alcohol when taking this medication as their concurrent use could cause a disulfiram-like reaction (flushing of the face, headache, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, weakness, blurred vision, mental confusion, sweating, choking, breathing difficulty, low blood pressure, and anxiety).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
